A Story of Friendship, Jazz, and The Genius of Miles Davis

Frigate Bay Filmworks, Inc. has purchased the rights to the book and screenplay “Miles and Me” by writer, poet and long-time Miles Davis confidant, Quincy Troupe. The screenplay tells the story of the relationship between the two men, while exploring the life and operatic death of Davis, considered by many to be the single most innovative influence in jazz history.

Davis’ life and music is a landmark of the 20th Century. “Miles music is the whole scope, passion, evolution, conflicts of the century,” said Rudy Langlais, president of Frigate Bay. “Miles Davis was the ‘birth of cool.’”
